Many different uses By Luke1236 from Baltimore (Customer's Reviews) Sunday, February 24, 2013 I don't really use this for my airbrush but I'm sure it is useful or a real spray gun. I do use all the little pieces for a bunch of random things. Mainly cleaning hard to reach areas and poking small dirty holes. Worth having around.

Ginger and Apple Muffins–Gluten Free & Vegan
Friday, January 28th, 2011Here is a gorgeous video filmed in HD to entice your palate. When things get hectic I always start baking muffins. I find it therapeutic. I have been focusing on filming rather than picture taking, so I hope you find the following video interesting and helpful. It gives the full recipe on there. Thank you to everyone who is still reading this blog. I do believe it or not put a lot of thought into the recipes and photos and/or videos. These apple muffins are gluten free and vegan!
Strawberry Muffins (Gluten Free and Vegan)
Sunday, May 16th, 2010I apologize for the two month delay in posts. On April 5 Arachnoid Cyst Awareness received its 1,000th signature on the Arachnoid Cyst Petition, and since then we have written a letter to the World Health Organization to ask for their help in setting up a worldwide protocol for people with arachnoid cysts who go ignored by their doctors. We've been campaigning hard to raise more awareness, and that's largely where my time has been spent. But I do have a quick and easy recipe for you today. What inspired me to do it was a neighbor who told me she hated Doves Farm Gluten Free Flour products. I couldn't believe it, and wanted to prove that they have some of the best stuff around.
Gluten Free and Vegan Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Muffins
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009These muffins come out very moist and creamy, which is down to the peanut milk. I made a pint of it last night specifically for these. If you like the taste of Reese's Pieces, you will love these muffins! The peanut milk compliments the chocolate much more than my usual oat milk, and it brings [...]

Aligarh, May 10 (IANS) Fusion experiment can give new dimension to music if used wisely, renowned Sitar composer and performer Sri Shubhendra Rao said here.
He also said that musicians must have knowledge of their roots before breaking established rules of music.
Rao was interacting with faculty and students of Mangalayatan University before performing at a programme organised by SPICMACAY.
''School education is necessary for newcomers. Only after that guru shishya tradition can be adopted for further learning,'' he said.
''The artist must learn every day to excel in his career.
''We should understand the beauty and depth of Indian folk music. I am working in this direction and trying to communicate this message to every Indian folk admirer,'' he added.
He said Indian folk art needed a role model akin to a Sachin Tendulkar.
''Only then can Indian folk art be promoted as a good career for children.''
Sri Rao is ranked amongst the key soloists of India. He has performed in the US, Britain, Australia and South Africa.
He is considered a thinking musician, constantly endeavouring to carry his instrument beyond conventional boundaries.

We arrived in a sweltering Split (southern coastal Croatia) - 40 degrees earlier in the day and 36 when we got here. It means the men are mostly half naked - and my wordy lordy me - what a delight that has been today! We went for a walk/run exploration and then a dip in the sea - along with most of Split who were on a public holiday - and the men!!! Ah - this is what holidays are all about. I have pics but no software to make them less than 2 or 3 meg yet - (downloading software to the notebook as I type) - but yes I DO have some examples to show to prove it's not just hype.

Q*bert is having something of a renaissance these days. After playing a pivotal role in last year's game-friendly film Wreck-It Ralph, the big nosed video game icon is at the center of a pair of new video game records.
George Leutz has broken the reigning Q*bert high score, a record that stood for 30 years, by playing the classic coin-op for nearly 85 consecutive hours. He pressed play right before noon on February 14 and didn't finish playing until 12:38am on February 18th.
When he finally stepped away, he had earned a score of 37,163,080, more than enough to top the 1983 record of 33,273,520.
As he played, Leutz had to keep checking over his shoulder, since another Q*bert fanatic was also trying to break the record. Ed Heemskerk fell a bit short, throwing in the towel after 63 hours and 4 minutes with a score of 28,870,165.
Leutz did more than set the Q*bert high score, however: he also toppled Heemskerk's arcade longevity record, which was set last year. The two have been battling for Q*bert superiority for over a decade.
George LeutzLeutz has been focused on claiming the Q*bert high score crown for quite a while now. Two years ago, he fell short when fatigue wiped him out at the 54-hour mark.
The month prior, he had gotten 36 hours into an attempt when the game was reset after someone unplugged a machine elsewhere in the arcade. We're not sure what Leutz had to say when that happened, but we're guessing "@!#?@!" didn't quite cover it.
When you're that dedicated to breaking a record, you earn some admirers – and among those in Leutz's corner were Warren Davis, creator of the iconic game.
"I think it's amazing that George wants to beat the record on Q*bert and I'm in his corner all the way," Davis told Arcade Game Examiner during the initial record run. "Thanks, George, for keeping the spirit of Q*bert alive! Wish I could be there in person."

I've been investigating some databases using the dm_db_missing_index_group_stats DMV, and have a question about the equality_columns
field in the dm_db_missing_index_details view.
MSDN says that this holds "a comma-separated list of columns that contribute to equality predicates of the form: table.column = constant value"
I have a table which is represented in three of the highest cost missing indexes, with the following equality columns:
Does the order of the columns in the second and third index groups matter? e.g. if I created an index on client_product_id
, client_id
, status
, it seems that it should satisfy all three missing index cases, on the grounds that a query like client_id = 123 AND client_product_id = 456
should be satisfied equally regardless of whether client_product_id
or client_id
comes first in the index definition.
(obviously if it was an inequality predicate, this would not be the case)

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., teeters on glittery, gold four-inch heels, the skirt of her dress swishing as she trails a fellow Republican who is furiously scribbling a Medicare overhaul plan on a yellow legal pad. Other "senators" bounce balloons back and forth through the aisleways; one Republican sits in the back of the chamber, studying an iPad to figure out how to tie his tie.
The chamber, such as it is, is a ballroom at the Boston Sheraton hotel. The senators are type-A teenagers tasked with assuming the personas of real Capitol Hill lawmakers, including their policy views, personal opinions, and constituent demands. The role-play does not, however, extend to wardrobe. The tall brunette playing Thune wears a black dress with a large cutout in the back. But she feels it's in character. She looks up, eyes hooded in perfectly stenciled eyeliner, and explains: "Well, he's a good looking guy."
John Thune in a dress isn't nearly as surprising as the end result of Harvard University's Model Congress, where 1,400 high school students colonize an icy Boston conference center and somehow, in very non-congressional fashion, manage to get something done for the American people.
And teenagers shall lead them

Today, we deliver the first of those stories: solutions for our dysfunctional political system, brought to you by a group of standout, idealistic teenagers, and expertly told by National Journal's Sarah Mimms.

Read the rest here. Then come back and tell us: What can, or can't, Congress learn from these students?

BLUE RIDGE, Texas (AP) A memorial is being held in North Texas for the slain girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher.
Family and friends gathered Thursday at a church in Blue Ridge to remember 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins, five days after Belcher killed her then shot himself in the head.
Life Celebration Funeral Home says a separate service will be held Saturday in Austin, followed by burial in nearby Pflugerville.
Belcher shot Perkins at their Kansas City home Saturday morning. He then drove with a handgun to Arrowhead Stadium, where he thanked team officials before kneeling down and shooting himself in the head.
Perkins is survived by the couple's 3-month-old daughter, Zoey. According to the Turrentine Jackson Morrow funeral home, she is also survived by two siblings, her parents, grandparents and a great-grandmother.

Herb Vanderberry, director NCDA&CS Agricultural Statistics Division (919) 733-7293
RALEIGH — Wildlife feasted on North Carolina field crops last year, running up a tab of $29.4 million, according to a statewide survey by the N.C. Agricultural Statistics Division.
Wildlife damaged $19 million worth of soybeans and $5.6 million worth of corn, Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler said in announcing the report. Damage to wheat, peanuts and cotton totaled $4.8 million.
"For some crops, animals can be as damaging as diseases, insects or the weather," Troxler said. "And crop loss — regardless of how it occurred — can make a difference in profitability."
Deer were the top gluttons. Ninety-two percent of soybean and cotton farms in the survey reported damage from deer. Deer also were the top foragers on 75 percent of peanut farms and 60 percent of wheat farms reporting damage.
"Bambi is a pest," Troxler said.
The wildlife damage survey used a random sample of 1,200 North Carolina soybean, cotton, peanut, corn and wheat growers. The survey targeted only these field crops and was not designed to measure wildlife damage to other crops, such as vegetables, fruits and nursery plants. It was a cooperative effort of the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, N.C. Soybean Producers Association, N.C. Small Grain Growers Association, N.C. Peanut Growers Association, N.C.

Troxler said the report provides benchmark information that farm groups, wildlife authorities and policy makers can use in future discussions about dealing with wildlife's threat to crops. The results will also benefit the Wildlife Resources Commission's educational efforts with land owners.
Fifty-three percent of farms in the survey reported using hunting to prevent wildlife damage. The NCDA&CS has launched a Web site, "Hunt NC Farmland," to match farmers and hunters. Farmers interested in leasing their land for hunting can post on the site, and hunters can look for farms to hunt on. The site is online at www.ncagr.gov/hunt.

What is a floodplain?
James City County's natural environment is one of its most valuable assets, and at the same time one of its most vulnerable. The County is located on a narrow, hilly, wooded peninsula between three major rivers: the James to the south, the York to the northeast and the Chickahominy to the west. The County possesses broad tidal and tributary floodplains adjacent to most of the streams and rivers.
The floodplain is the level land directly adjacent to rivers and streams; as the interface between land and water bodies it performs many important functions. Floodplain areas help reduce the impacts of flooding by slowing and temporarily storing floodwaters during large storm events. In addition, the majority of floodplains in the County are comprised of an intact mix of wetland and non-wetland habitats that are home to plants and other living organisms that serve as filters, capturing sediment and harmful chemicals found in runoff. This process improves the water quality before flowing to our streams and rivers. These corridors are also heavily used by migratory wildlife and are valued areas for recreation. Areas closest to water bodies also became preferred locations for our original settlers making preservation even more important. The rich and diverse habitats found in our floodplain perform vital functions and help define our community in a way that far outweighs their relative size.
In addition to flooding associated with the larger water bodies and floodplains in the County, there are also localized areas that flood during storm events caused by inadequate drainage conveyance systems.
90-Day appeals period to begin
Please be advised that during the beginning of October FEMA will be posting two notifications in The Virginia Gazette regarding the 90-day appeals period for the 2014 Flood Insurance Rate Maps, which will begin following the second notification.

Ok, this phone has been great for the most part but today I found its first flaw. The gps is terrible! I just recently started using it's gps for geocaching and the "indicator" (blue arrow) jumps all over the place! Sometimes it jumps 50 yards away or more! I got home and zoomed in on my location on both my 3D and old Optimus V and the while the indicator is perfectly still on the OV, it's constantly moving on the 3D. Could anyone else see if their GPS is doing this, or suggest a fix? Update: I found this patch at xda that I will try later tonight. I will post results. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325033 Update 2: Installed the "Google Specific No-SSL v3.1" and my indicator actually looks like it is standing still. However, I have not done any amount of testing near enough to verify this problem as fixed. As soon as I can confirm this I will repost this as a fix.
My GPS has been absolutely flawless from day one. I get a solid lock within 10 seconds most of the time, never more than 30 seconds. Do you have both GPS and A-GPS turned on? Do you have a solid data connection? If you're geocaching out in the woods where there's little or no signal, try preloading the area in Google Maps.
I'm running Mobster ROM and my GPS is practically instant. I came from the Triumph which can take up to 5 minutes to get a lock. Talk about annoying! The errors you're encountering are definitely not normal. If you haven't yet, i'd suggest rooting your phone and installing a custom ROM.
As everyone else has mentioned, gps locks with this phone are virtually instantaneous. I would perform a factory reset and if that doesn't work it might be time for a replacement. I doubt that rooting and ROMing will help you much if you're having this much trouble stock. Unlike the Triumph where custom roms helped somewhat with the issue, none of the roms available for this phone address this because it's not an issue.
Actually found some threads around where people were saying the same thing. It's not just out in the woods, I tested it at home over wifi and it showed my marker jumping around (by 20ft or so). Also, when I exit maps and come back in I get an instant lock but often its 100-200 yards away then there is a short delay(5-10secs) before it finds my location. Can anyone zoom into their blue indicator and tell me if it "slides around at all" when your not moving? I'm also on midnight and did a full wipe before installing.
Seems to be better from the patch, I'll probably try a couple more and see what happens. Won't know for sure until I'm out and using it. Today, before the patch, it would show the cache in an area and we would look forever, then I'd go back to the map view and it was 50 yards away, lol oh well
Just tried this... Sitting still inside my house, WiFi and GPS + A-GPS turned on. I zoomed in all the way and my marker does not move at all. It does show that I'm in the back yard though, so it's about 20-30 feet off. Ok, just force closed Maps and restarted it, now it is spot on. Marker is still not moving, at any zoom level.
The patch has fixed the wandering arrow. Mine also shows me in the yard sometimes. What radio is everyone using?
The only problem I have with GPS, is that when I am on wifi it locks right one...but when I am on my data.....well let's just say this...I work at the airport in Vegas...and it shows me on Maps all the way down the strip....it REALLY annoys me...but the blue marker icon doesn't move..it's just WHERE it's at is all off **EDIT*** Ok, so as soon as I posted this...I reset my Maps application...and NOW it IS doing the same thing you were saying yours is doing...My blue marker will jump around and won't really stay in the same spot....help
Check out this thread. I reposted this in the all things root section after it was successful for me. http://androidforums.com/evo-v-4g-all-things-root/625556-mod-improve-gps-connectivity.html Let me know how it goes. Good luck! Also, download GPS essentials off the market and let me know your satellite count before and after the patch.
Yep, what's holding you back? It's not to bad, dedicate 2 hours give or take and you can have it done, plus theres alot of good guides in the all root section. If you ever have to send it back you can re-lock and unroot.
I'm just not tech savy enough I feel like...I think that if I tried to root my phone...I will end up messing it up and being screwed lol
lol I hear you on that man, I think everyone feels that way the first time. But if you follow the directions step by step it really isnt that bad. You would almost have to screw up on purpose to permanently brick this phone. Here you go, someone just posted this http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-v-...ock-my-htc-evo-v-4g-help-guidance-please.html Also, I don't believe you need s-off for the GPS fix so you would just have to root which is pretty easy to do.

BiB Vs. iBiB
Hi everyone. I have a pair of Fostex Fe126En. On the net you can find many cabinet plans for Fe126 but TS parameters for the two kind of Fostex are quite different. In particular, Fs. Qts and Vas that are very important to build BiB and iBiB enclosure. I have two questions.
1. Is iBiB configuration really better than classic BiB? 2. If so, does anyone have plans for Fe126En? The one you can find is for 126E and, as said, this driver is different from En one. Otherwise, if in your opinion Bib and iBiB are equivalent, I've no matters. Thanks to all of you Ziocalepino |

I too have a pair of the new FE126En's and was looking at building BiB's for them.
GM's (BiB_166_GM) BiB calculator found on Godzilla's website is an auto-calculator. Once you plug in Fs, Vas and Qts it will give you the dimensions. Bigger Is Better 'BIB' Cabinet Dimensions - ZillaSpeak Using the GM calculator I got a 42" tall cabinet with a z-driver position 16.5" down, resulting in a 25.5" floor to driver height. The only plans I could find for an iBiB were in the box plan library of Planet10's website. planet_10 hifi It's called the iBiBk because it incorporates a Karlson Slot. It appears to be a working drawing though, not a finalized design. The issue I had was when comparing the two pieces of information (the info given from GM's calculator using Fostex published T/S numbers) and the dimensions given in the iBiBk plan sheet, I saw some pretty significant differences. The height difference between the two is almost 10" and the driver position (z-driver) is totally different. Since I have 8' ceilings and mine would be against a wall but not necessarily tucked into corners, I'm pretty sure an iBiB would load better in my room. The issues mentioned above though have so far kept me from building a pair. R/ Jim |

I've made the same calculation and have compared results. For Fostex Fe127 the two plans ARE different, so unfortunately you cannot transpose results obtained with excel sheet for a BiB into am iBiB.
If someone has an analogue calculator, please share... Thanks |

Aside from the Fulmar slot, they're tuned somewhat differently, partly as a result of using measured specs. rather than the published ones. The realatively short inverted cabinet also allows the tap location of the driver to be shifted to one better suited for this configuration.

Without being in corners my BIBs using fostex 165k or even the 168s (older style with whizzer) are bass light. Placing them into corners fills out the bass beautifully. It's quite an amazing transformation actually and rounds out the sound nicely. I would not build BIBs if they cannot be placed into corners as designed. Placed correctly, they ROCK, especially when considering they use pretty small full range drivers. They also deliver a BIG soundstage... they are great speakers for corner placement. Zilla |

The iBIBk were drawn using the smaller of 2 suggested dimensions, before the calculator existed.
Real world testing of FE126e (n=200+) & FE126En (n=4)show them to have essentially the same T/S. (Fs & efficiency on FE126En fall in the top of the range for FE126e. dave

Well, 126E and 126En are very similar and plan works for both.
But what about a completely different driver? For example a Tang Band. After having made calculation for BiB, how con I proceed if I want to use them in an iBiB? Thanks |

performed, and the results were published. This approach does not adapt well to streaming data sources and may not be viable going forward. Unfortunately, most of the existing algorithms were engineered with the assumption that all data would be available from the start. Bioinformaticians need to start developing algorithms that scale to arbitrarily large datasets.
Algorithms in bioinformatics already exist that fit those two criteria. They include multiple sequence alignment with profile-hidden Markov models, phylogenetic placement on reference trees, and bloom filters. The nature of the data has changed, and more methods like these must be developed. Once it is possible to analyze all the data, researchers will have some basis from which to make a decision about whether data are useful or can be deleted from the data that are archived for future analysis.
The computing infrastructure used to analyze data also has changed greatly. The approach is shifting from individuals doing analyses on PCs or within a computing cluster to people performing analyses within cloud systems. The Amazon Web Services Elastic Computing Cloud is the best-known of these systems, and there are others, such as OpenStack, a cloud infrastructure that virtually everyone can download and set up on his or her own computer hardware. In Australia, the government set up a national research cloud named NeCTAR. Those at Australian research institutions are issued free allocations for use; in instances when large computing resources and many computing hours are needed, users can make special requests.
Other paradigms for using cloud computing have emerged, including the HTCondor project, which essentially leverages idle computing time; it is a cycle-scavenging system. The Condor can launch virtual machine images on idle computers. If an institution has a large number of computers that sit idle after everyone goes home at 5:00 p.m., that overnight time becomes a large computing resource.
The cloud-computing model is attractive because it enables one to rent time on a large, commercial, professionally managed computing facility, and to pay only for what is used. It enables a researcher to quickly scale computing resources up or down. One does not have to worry about how to dispose of all of the outdated computers in 5 years because the cloud provider will manage that. A challenge, however, is that data motion and storage in the cloud can become very expensive and will increase the funding researchers need from their sponsors. Researchers who wish to perform large dataset analyses in clouds must factor in how to most efficiently move the data around and store it. One possible solution is to use third-party providers for data storage.
Hardware architectures have changed also, largely owing to the fact that central processing unit (CPU) clock speed reached its limits about

Cool but probably not a good idea to post your license plate number online.

Those pictures are pretty cool. Strange how all the land went unused for so long in Japan. You would think it would have been sold off way before the park looked like that.

How about the ones that use your social security number, then the IRS is after you because they think you've had all these jobs, or kids.

text: Wanted: A radical idea to fix the eurozone by Nin-Hai Tseng @FortuneMagazine September 28, 2011, 3:32 PM EDT E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons FORTUNE — After a series of efforts to keep Europe's ongoing debt crisis from turning into a worldwide financial disaster, it seems as though little has calmed investors: Greece, Portugal and Ireland are on the brink. Italy and Spain could be next. And while the economies of Germany and France are doing okay for now, even the healthy ones are showing signs of weakness. Late Tuesday, lawmakers in Athens voted on a hugely unpopular property tax as part of a package of cuts to secure funds for a bailout package. Officials are also working to beef up a fund that facilitates low-cost loans for struggling EU countries. But even with new powers granted to the European Financial Stability Facility, it's still uncertain how effective it will be. Investors continue to worry that the fund, established last year, won't have enough money if bigger economies such as Spain or Italy suddenly need a lifeline. Politicians may not be looking for bold ideas at this point, but the markets certainly are, as Europe's debt crisis threatens to plunge the world into another deep recession. As Gluskin Sheff & Associates chief economist David Rosenberg wrote ahead of Tuesday's vote: The markets want "massive amounts of money thrown at the problem, regardless of who pays (so long as it's not the banks holding the debt!)." One solution is to give Greece a much bigger bailout in exchange for bigger payments once its heavily indebted economy begins to heal and grow, as Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff has suggested. The idea is analogous to what he thinks could help fix America's troubled housing market. Just as homeowners could receive write-downs on their underwater mortgages in exchange for claims on a percentage of future appreciation of their homes, rich countries in Europe could possibly agree to a much bigger bailout for Greece (one, as Rogoff says, that's "actually big enough to work") in return for higher payments later if its economy outperforms. That way, both borrower and lender would have a stake in seeing the deal succeed. And perhaps more importantly, nobody is really getting a free ride – at least in principle. In the case of the U.S. housing market, this would potentially mean a win not only for homeowners who owe more on their homes than their properties are worth, but also a win for lenders and investors who would eventually be repaid for giving borrowers a break. Conversely, Europe's heavily indebted peripheral countries would get meaningful relief on their debt payments. Once these economies grow in healthier fashion – say 10 to 15 years from now – taxpayers would repay the rich countries via a portion of its GDP gains. Rogoff hasn't elaborated much beyond this, but it's almost assumed that any such plan would include easing austerity measures that the European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund have forced on Greece in order to secure its bailout money. These measures have created a double-edge sword for Greece, since it can't possibly repay the loans if it can't grow. True, it makes sense for a nation with huge debts to cut spending. But laying off thousands of workers and raising taxes has proven devastating on the Greek economy. GDP has shrunk more than anyone expected, falling 6% in 2010 and 7.3% during the three months ending in June. A further decline in growth could cause Greece to miss revenue targets and even seek more bailouts, which is largely why the market is pricing in the likelihood that Greece will eventually default. Greek bonds have plunged, putting the chance of default at more than 90%, according to Bloomberg. Two-year notes yield more than 70%. Now back to Rogoff's idea of giving Greece what would essentially be a long-term loan with delayed payments — it has its drawbacks. Politicians would likely be against it, at least today. Germany is clearly fed up and resents having to be Europe's banker of last resort. And even though Germany could get substantial returns for funding bigger bailouts, this could still easily be viewed as rich states giving handouts to poor states that haphazardly spent beyond its means. The problem isn't just getting rich countries on board, however, says Alan Deardorff, associate dean of University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. Greece would need an incentive to agree to what would essentially create a tax on any rise in income. Indeed, any collection on future GDP growth would have to be limited to a certain percentage so that Greece would have an incentive to grow its economy. And growth, at least in the long-term, would depend significantly on deep structural reforms in the state's economy. Nevertheless, if Rogoff's idea may not be politically feasible today, it's at least intellectually appealing. And something perhaps worth considering later.

Dethroning the Queen
Author's infos
Gender: male Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Wed 9th of July 2008
I sat on the spoiler of my car, my foot tapping to the beat of the blaring music
coming from the stereo. I eyed the girl from underneath my bangs as she approached. Lots
of guys called her name and she waved or hollered back but did not blush, a dead give
away she's well known amongst the guys. Seeing as we were sitting in front of a city high
school, I kept it a cool glance with a shadow of indifference.
About 5'9" compact with a nice figure loaded with curves. Way too much makeup
obviously applied to make her look a lot older than she really was, a white low cut
half-shirt displaying a flat stomach and so much sun tanned skin and cleavage, that showed
no visible tan lines, that it never would have been allowed where I'd gone to school but
this is the inner city. Showing skin was less dangerous than a switchblade or a handgun.
The colored bra beneath was easily visible as it snugly held her C-D cup breasts. Her light
brunette hair was long and well cared for, curly, possibly permed, showing auburn
highlights. Long tanned legs, once again with no signs of tanning lines, ended at her acid
washed cutoffs. She walked as if she were a hood. With a gang ghetto accent only an idiot
would have mistaken for authentic she says, "These your wheels?"
Opening gambit. Make sure I have the goods. After all it could belong to a friend
and then she'd make her move on him instead. I looked up with a half smile.
"I don't see anybody else they'd belong to, do you?" I ask the last two words
"No," her voice tries to sound sexy for a moment melting the "bad girl" accent.
"So," she pauses speaking with her eyes and a shift of her hips, "you want some?"
She was now inches from my face staring into my eyes as if to add punctutation on
the off chance I don't understand what she's asking.
"Want some," I repeated. "From you? Okay, what you got?"
She quickly sets her books on the sidewalk, steps closer, and grabs my hand
shoving it up her shirt pausing just long enough to slip her bra off one breast. Then she
runs my hand in a circular motion over it while moaning lightly. Then she licks her lips,
drops herself into my lap, and whsipers into my ear with hot breath, "Get the idea?"
I take my hand back slowly sliding it down her stomach. Let her know I'm not
gay. Then I fix her with an incredulous look.
"How old are you? Thirteen? Maybe fourteen?"
She smiles. After all, when I copped the feel it was rather clear I was interested.
"How old do I feel?"
Every word on one track, only one goal in mind.
"So what did you have in mind?" I ask unrattled but with my best facade of
"Well," she reclined on the back of my car. "You could take me for a ride in this
hot car of yours back to your place. Then, I could take you for a ride. Then you could buy
me some dinner, take me home, and I could show you what I do for fun."
"I don't even know your name," I claimed diffidently, as if that were important to
either of us.
"It's Stacy, honey," Stacy Merrickson, one of a pair of lethal twin sisters that are
considered the best fucks in the city by any guy with a pair of nuts under twenty-five, "and
what can I call you?"
Don't let her know my real name; it would only confuse things right now.
"Erik," I say lifting her while stepping off the car. She wraps her arms around my
neck like I've just rescued her from the Dragon of High School Boredom.
"My, you're strong, I like that in a man," she laughs lightly, a sexy laugh if that's
possible. Each word carefully phrased hinting that I'm exclusive, but I'm no fool. We've
just met five minutes ago. Her fingers run lightly down my arm and I hold back a shiver as
a chill runs through me. "Let's go for that ride."
I don't break as I respond cooly. "You sure you don't have to stop at home first
and check in with your mommy?"
"You're going to be a lot of fun, I can tell," she laughs while climbing in. My
Camaro is the perfect combo, the premium sound system, big engine, and sports car look
and luxury, but it's not a Lexus or Cadillac. Rich but not too rich.
She doesn't seem at all nervous as I drive. I don't catch her sliding glances at me
trying to surmise my form. After all, if I've got the goods, who cares how good a body I
have? She moves in rhythm with the music and seems rather at ease. Highly experienced, a
pretty good catch, of course, that'll depend on how good she really is, but she seems
confident she can deliver. Let's face it, guys are easy to please, but she knows I'm not
your average high school fuck critic. It'll have to be better than just okay, or I'll throw her
back and keep fishing. Still she's utterly confident. . . so far.
When we pull up in front of my town house, she looks around admiringly.
"Didn't say you was rich."
I scowl only briefly at her slaughter of the English language and make sure she
doesn't see me do so.
"I wouldn't call it rich," I say modestly, "but I get by."
"You married?"
The question surprises me because it shouldn't matter, but it seems more curiosity
for waging the war than genuine concern.
"Do you see a ring?" I deliberately allow a small amount of annoyance to cross my
voice. Let her know I'm not interested in particulars.
We walk in and she makes for the bedroom straight away. My two story
townhouse is moderately furnished with a well stocked fridge, and a decent home
entertainment system. The rooms are clean, dust free and well maintained. These things
are important to the girl whether she's a one night stand or a wife. Despite her lack of
interior appraisal, I know she'll look later, I am impressed. This is much better digs than
what she has at home, no doubt, but just the same, she needs to see the bedroom. I give
her the time to look around. No hurry. We know why we're here. When I finally ascend
the stairs and reached the bedroom, the half shirt has found the floor and the cutoff shorts
are unbuttoned showing no hair beneath. Her skin is not only well shaved, but soft, evenly
tanned with no lines indicating a nude tanning regime.
Her modest breasts are barely contained by the bra which was likely deliberately a
B-cup so that enough of her skin would show and be accessable. The black is in nice
contrast to her skin and rival with satin deep red bikini style panties.
"This is what you wanted, right, Erik?" the words are now cast in innocence, not
gang aspirations. This look is carefully geared to show some without showing too much.
A slut she is, but careful just the same. If I were to walk in and find her nude, I could
claim I just wanted someone to talk to, but she knows better, can tell by the way my eyes
travel up and down her body before I answer.
I remove my shirt slowly as if this is nothing new to me. Her main assett is her
body, can't let her see that her only assett is my weakness like it is most.
"I think I'm going to like doing it here more," she says with her eyes fixed walking
slowly to me. "Tonight," she allows her hands to wander up my chest and around behind
me. My skin is tan, my muscles firm, but I'm not Hercules. "I'm going to show you the
richest place on Earth, my bedroom. There I've done guys so hard and long that they
begged me for more and forever decided I was the best they could ever hope for. So get
used to it, I'm in charge."
Her speech is now borderline intelligent. Perhaps she paid attention in English class
for a few days after all. Her hands, before travelling slowly, abruptly plunge into my pants.
"Not hard yet?!" she seems surprised.
"I have more control than most," I say loosely with a hint of indifference. The
perfect words, challenge open.
"Maybe you need a little help," she backs off a step and her breasts are quickly
released from captivity. They have no tan lines, just slight red creases from the overly tight
bra. Her nipples are erect and nakedness completely full of ease. Challenge met.
"How about now, hon?" she asks putting my hands on her waist. I still don't
respond peaking her curiosity even further. By now she has to wonder if I'm gay and just
playing her. She reaches back into my pants and her smile widens. I am hard now.
"Maybe you're 'fraid I won't," she says almost to herself easing first the cutoffs
then the panties slowly past her curved hips to the floor. Many girls appear to have a great
body but stripping off the clothes is the ultimate equalizer. In this case, Stacy is a rare
exception. She really has a flawless body, not a mark or a blemish, a scar or birthmark, or
any imperfection of any kind. Her tan is universal and obviously not sun inspired, but in
her case you never know.
"You need a taste of things to come," she says undoing my belt and returning my
focus. She disposes of my jeans quickly and draws me to the bed. She is over eager, by
now likely afraid I'm going to back out. But I'm her catch and she doesn't intend to let me
go without sampling the cuisine. She pauses above me savoring the kill. "Here's that ride I
She shifts and hands-free guides me into her so slowly it's almost cruel. Now she's
toying with me. She turns one downstroke into a five minute ordeal as she slowly pushes
to the maximum penetration point and then beyond. She is far stronger than she looks and
her vagina is well muscled. She reaches back pulling my legs wide open so I can sink even
further into her. My groan produces a grin of satisfaction. She places my hands on her
breasts and sits completely still. Her hands travel up and down my body. This is the test.
Any time her fingers contact somewhere that make me move inside of her she'll know she
found a good spot. If I don't react to a spot she knows to keep trying. This way she gets
to skip that awkwardness new lovers experience trying to find out what their partner likes.
She'll find out the first time, every time, and know what to use the next. This ritual with
her hands is slow and meticulous. She traces every inch of available skin searching for my
weaknesses. This is also something she's only going to take the time to do if she intends
for there to be more than once. In the meantime she lets light likely fake gasps of pleasure
escape on hot breath as my fingers manipulate her nipples.
She soon discovers my nipples are extremely sensitive, but also notes my neck,
ears, and sides are as well. They are building blocks. But right now she needs to make
good on her taunts of ecstasy, there'll be time for long drawn out trips to dream land later.
She manipulates my nipples with certain ease feeling for my stiffness deep within her all
the while moving her hips in slow circular motion. Each time I draw close she backs off
the nipples and eases forward letting me slide out a little, backing me off slightly but she's
careful to keep the timing slim. As I start to peak for about the twentieth time, she slowly
eases herself completely vertical adding the last bit of pressure and suddenly scrapes her
fingernails lightly down my nipples. I tighten involuntarily and soon am gracing her body
with my lightning.
